I don't care what anyone says, LCD resolutions are going to be a lot higher than they are now before I'll ever feel the same delight when playing the same game on a vector.

As far as that goes, I wonder how well an OLED monitor would reproduce vector games. They have the brightness, contrast ratio and black levels to do it, the only thing else they need are size and resolution. That, and not cost $10,000.

Indeed. In case anyone missed my post on his PM to me a couple months ago, you might look back a couple/few weeks. I remember he had a kid come about around Christmas or something, as well as internal issues with the business, and all could have some part or still have some part in things. Or he could just be dead. It's happened before.

no one has been ripped off

Indeed they haven't.  What's to be achieved by this thread ?

Even if they end up losing their money, there's no new issues.  While it would be unfortunate, it wouldn't be a case of being "ripped off", as the pre-order folks made it clear about 6 months back, that they knew this venture had risk.

Their investment went into the R&D of this product, with their knowledge and agreement, with no guarantees it could be returned.

They reaffirmed their willingness to accept that risk, and to continue waiting, however long it takes.

Nothing's changed.

The problem is that every-time he says they are "very soon" ready to ship....and then it's dead- silence again.

Dave sent me some parts for my yoke for free too. Amazing after how I criticized him. The parts are excellent (although I have not installed them yet). IF it ever gets finished it will be absolutely stunning quality. But sometimes you _have_ to compromise a bit to get things going.  And DON'T promise things that you CAN'T deliver. It's the worst mistake people make in business and in personal live as well.

I missed that earlier.  Good to hear !  And credit to Dave.

Your SW cab is well stocked with spares, to live through the next few generations.
